I think you may want something more like http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ You're going to run into issues with git if you have to store very large files. Also, if you need to delete a file from the backups for some reason, you may find it more difficult than you'd like (you have to use filter-branch and rewrite history). I'm not saying it cannot be done with git, but you'll be using it for a purpose for which it was not intended. You might also consider a filesystem which offers snapshots. > Q2: I haven't found any way to tell the 'majordomo' mailing list > software running this list that I am not happy receiving 40-60 emails > in my business email inbox per day.

Am I missing something obvious? vger.kernel.org does not offer its lists in digested form. You can try reading the git mailing list via http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git, http://marc.info/?l=git, or consider signing up for a webmail account. j. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
